A few weeks later, I came across another resource that, quite frankly, is on par with that one as to the richness of its content and the clarity of its expression. This one was written by a brother from Chile, whom I was previously unfamiliar with, Rodrigo Abarca. (Thanks to Josh Lawson for posting the link on his blog that led me to it.) The depth of revelation in his writing ranks right up there, in my estimation, with those of Watchman Nee, T. Austin-Sparks and DeVern Fromke. In fact, if you appreciate those brothers, you may find this resource to be to a clearly expressed distillation of their teachings concerning the Church and the spiritual life, with his own experience and revelation added in. I cannot more highly recommend it!

[UPDATE: A few years after publishing this post, the links to the book online became inactive. In addition to the Foreward that is found on the Resource page linked above, the Conclusion of the book can also be accessed here on the blog. Please see this post. Beyond that, it seems this resource is now no longer available, which is a great loss. Please relish these portions that remain!]

Thanks, David! I immediately followed the link and started reading. What a blessing. It is clear that this brother has undertaken his studies at The School of Christ! I have a good mind to print this work out and distribute it at our gatherings here in Bloemfontein. (It seems to be in the public domain).
